Samantha Brinn Yours to Lose

Once upon a time, my whole life stretched out ahead of me, and it was perfect. Then, tragedy struck. Two years later, nothing about my life looks the way I thought it would, and I don't even know what home is anymore. Until I cross paths with Jo Evans late one night, staring up at the stars. With her signature pink sneakers and smile that could power the world, Jo is sunshine personified. When she ends up in my city for a few months, she insists that we are going to be summer friends and no amount of my grumpy resistance deters her. I never expected to find love after such an enormous loss, but with one crazy summer adventure at a time, Jo helps me learn how to live. And slowly, I find myself wanting things I never thought would be mine again. My grief runs deep, and I have scars that aren't so easily healed. But Jo sees me. She makes me feel like my battered heart may just be safe and that I can find the courage to think about forever. As long as forever is with her.
